ELECTRICS

Please confirm which electrical able size i would need to install my electric oven



The total connected load is 4.6 kwts

Please confirm the electrical cable size would 6.00mm cable size be o.k for this appliance.

However this is another Neff oven U1422N which we have just purchased and we need know the correct cable size, so we do not have the same problem,m as the other oven which i have in my home.

4.6 kw is a lot for an oven, is this a dual-oven or a catering thing?

This is a 20Amp load.

Have a look for a start on

(there are posts on "Cable Rating" you should find with the "search" option at the top of each page). And there are several on "Oven" that you might like to have a look at (use the "search" with "search for all terms" ticked)

There is a cable calculator on

edited to say, trimmed my response as I am not expert on this.

and to say, read also

You didn't say what the problem with the other oven was

However, a simple answer to your question is "yes, 6mm will be sufficient"
